Implement file delete (rm) and directory listing (ls) functions

[askvictor]

I know these can be performed over via the REPL, but so can the get_file and put_file commands; it would be nice to have the basic filesystem primitives running over the same channel.

Right, that's how webrepl protocol should evolve. There should be planning for the order of operations to be added, to minimize upfront effort/maximize outcome, however. And the next one to add is GET_VER, to control new versions of the protocol: micropython/micropython@e15fb33.

And here's how community can help: integrate check for GET_VER into webrepl.html .

Hi,
is there any news on this, is it on the roadmap at least? I use WEBREPL for my uPython projects over the years, and love it, being very nice and useful. However, now I have to dump all files on one of my boards, and I have to disconnect it and open the box to plug a USB in, just to get a directory listing.
Thank you for your work!
Best,

Waiting for this as well, but for now, here is my hack

Insert this into boot.py

from os import listdir as ls
ls = ls()

now you can just run ls at a repl prompt to get a list of files
